2. I have especially in mind Karl Schuhmann. Husserls Staatsphilosophie (Munich: Verlag Karl Alber Freiburg, 1988); James G. Hart, The Person and the Common Life: Studies in a Husserlian Social Ethics (Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1990), chap. 5; R.

3. Cf, e.g., Edmund Husserl, Cartesianische Meditationen und Pariser Vorträge,ed. Stephan Strasser, Husserliana I (The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, 1963); Cartesian Meditations: An Introduction to Phenomenology,trans. Dorion Cairns (The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, 1970), 169/142; Edmund Husserl, Zur Phänomenologie der Intersubjektivität: Texte aus dem Nachlass. Dritter Teil: 1929–1935,ed.

4. Cf. Anthony Steinbock, Home and Beyond: Generative Phenomenology after Husserl (Evanston: Northwestern University Press, 1995), 3. Cf. also Steinbock’s discussion of Husserl’s use of “Stamm” and its cognates (194–96), a root which can be translated variously as “stem” (of a plant), “trunk” (of a tree), “strain” (of bacteria), “root,” “stock” or “lineage.” We see this dimension of generativity in Husserl’s claim that the state is grounded in an Abstammungsgemeinschaft,a community formed by familial descent and ancestral relations. We shall return to this point later in the paper.
5. For Husserl’s discussions of the traditional character of disciplines, geometry in particular, cf. “Die Frage nach dem Ursprung der Geometrie als intentionalhistorisches Problem,” Die Krisis der europäischen Wissenschaften und die transzendentale Phänomenologie. Eine Einleitung in die phänomenologische Philosophie,ed. Walter Biemel, 2nd ed.
